Default Please Help!!!!

I want to buy my first electric R\C plane, but can't spend more than 220$. Please help me guys!!!
Is it right that bigger wing span planes are better for begginers?
Also, how long is a flight time?
Maybe you have some other tips that I should know as a beginner.
If you could write to me [email protected], that would be great.
Thank you so much!!!!

Try this like. Tower Hobbies.

http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...I=LXAWF5**&P=0

It is a 45" electric trainer kit, complete with raido for $189.99

I fly Glow and Gas so I am not sure how long flight you can expect, guessing 10min?

Good luck!

The smartest way to decide on what plane to fly is to find someone to teach you to fly (You will need an instructor) and do what he says. Some clubs have planes for beginners to use . Yes it is true, larger planes are easier to fly I fly electrics only nowadays and most flights are about 6-9 minutes. The average flight time for a fuel plane is 6-9 minutes. They will fly for twice that but most flyers dont fly the tank empty.

If you have the ability to build a Mini IFO with a GWS motor would fit into your budget. http://wildrc.com

You did not mention if you had any radio gear.
